''Wrestling i'm Japan is always done in

most bouts is The winner Of the first prize. 1"
GLOW does Matsala Sorakichi stand
with the crack wrestlers Of Japan?'
Not very high. He is so much smaller
and physically weaker than the good ones
that he stands no show at all against them
The best wrestIers are Adata and Ume-
gataui, Of Toxic. They're about as big as
Toxic, Osaka and Kiota are the greatest
sporting centers in Japan. There is q
good reason for Sorakichi's inferiority TO
the other wrestlers Of his race. For nearly
three centuries wrestling has been the pre-
vailing sport Of that country. Professional
wrestlers bred their sons to be wrestlers,
aud in the course of half dozen genera
lions there was developed q class Of brawny
athletes, big of bone and large of stature,
giants in every respect physically. Against
such fellows SorakiChi stands n small
show One feature Of the japanese
wrestlers that strikes an American at first
glance is the aldermanic paunch the
athletes boast. In this country, where
athletes train off every ounce of superfuous
flesh, n man who would step into a ring
with such waist girth as japanese
wrestlers carry around would be laughed
off the stage. The average Jap will weigh
from 1870 to $50 pounds. None of the best
wrcstlcrs weigh under 200 pounds, and all
stand head and shoulders above non
athletic citizens. ''-Chicago Herald.

Almost all the original Harper family
and many of their sons and grandsons
were named after the Wesley family; and
the third generation of the Harper Broth
ers got considerably mixed up. There was,
for instance, the original Wesley, who had
q son named Joseph Wesley. and Joseph
Wesley, Fletcher's son, had himself son
named Joseph Henry. 1t used to be diff
cult to distinguish them in the house
where they all were employed, and they
gradually became to be known as "Mr
Joseph W." for the original, "Joe Brook.
Ign" tfor his SOM, "Joe 22d' flor the just
deceased mani and "Joe Henry" for his
SOM. There were several Johns, who
were designated Colonel John" ''the
COlonel's John" and "Fifth Avenue
Jack" There are something like dozen
or more surviving male members of the
firm, and each has been reared In the
house in some capacity until he is familiar
with the minutest details of the vast bust
ness.-New York Cor. Chicago Herald.

A Temptation and n Snare.

Tell me not that there is no carrion
where sec the sky full Of carrion crows,
waiting and flying and cawing 10 each
other, and circling around some center
Though l see nothing L know what is
there. And when l sec young men sur
rounded by certain harpies, when SCI
certain influences circling round and round
them, though may not know one single
definite fact, l do know that the ravens
know where corruption is. They that
will be rich tall into temptation and O
snare"
1t Is a mournful thing TO see men perish;
and yet sometimes there is certain grim
pleasure in IT. One cannot bear to see
Gods everlasting laws of equity set at de-
tianCe and no punishment follow And
when transgressors are picked off in tho
presence of the world, and they are shaken
and their bones rattle before men, there is
a sort OF awful pleasure in it. And yet of
all the things that perish on the earth, not
the perishing of temples, nor the destruc-
ton of pictures, not the fracture of costly
marbles, not the ruin by earthquakes of
cities or of villages, is half SO sad and so
melancholy as the destruction of the young
that are going down in our midst from
day to day.-Henry Ward Beecher in New

Wax Figures for Museums,

A curious business is that of the artists
who get up wax figures for the museums,
and those remarkable young women who
smile suavely at us from the windows of
hair stores and identifying bazars. The
maker Of wax figures must be something
of q sculptor If he expects to be at all sue
cessful in his profession. The figures are
modelled out of clay first with the hands,
and afterward with the wooden modelling
spoon. After the figure is constructed
the face and hands and such parts of the
body AS are to be exposed are covered
with a thin coating of flesh-colored wax
The face is made up very much the same
as an artistic doll would be, only more
pains being, of course, taken to give the
features proper expression.-New York

Marble for Monuments.

The use of marble for important monu-
mental structures has been almost en-
tirely discontinued. Marble readily alb,
serbs moisture, and the expansion and
contraction caused by our extreme eli
matte changes soon brings disintegration,
which ruins the stone within few years
The finer grades of granite are susceptible
of the most delicate carving, and the best
statuary for monumental purposes is now
executed from this indestructible ma.

A warm, wooden shawl pinned closely
about the neck and chest and covering the
arms, if put on when tho first sound of a
cough is heard and supplemented by warm
brick or soapstone at the feet, is a simple
household remedy that has nipped in the bud
many severe cough and cold. Hot foot
baths and hot hand baths are excellent in re-
Ieving congestion and equalizing the circula-
ton. Mild mustard drafts applied to the ex-
tremities also change the circulation. In
many cases flannels wrung from hot soda
water are helpful. Relief is sometimes found
from drinking water as hot as can comfort

Amusement. in tho Northwest.

"They have peculiar amusements up in
Montana and Dakota this winter" said
man in a fur overcoat at the Palmer
house. "One of the newest wrinkles is
what they call hard times ball. The
people who attend these entertainments
dress themselves up in rags and pay nine
teen cents for admission to the hall. The
supper consists of scraps dried pork OF
jerked bee1, for which the feeder is taxed
fourteen cents. The fiddler is dressed in
rags, the hall is lighted with candles, and
small vegetables are used for corsage bou-
quets and boutonnieres. These are hard
times balls, indeed, but the people seem
TO enjoy themselves hugely.-Chicago

Hail storms Versus English Sparrows.

'If we had two or three terrific hail
storms each year." said man from Wis
consin, 1.-THE English sparrow nuisance
would soon be abated. There are fewer
sparrows in Wisconsin to-day than at any
time within the past ten years. This is
all due to the fierce hail-storm which
swept over the state about five months
ago. The icy missiles fell for less than
five minutes, yet in that short space of
time thousands of sparrows were pelted
to death. Since then the southern part of
the state has been comparatively free from
these little pugnacious birds. "-Phila-
delphia Times.
